#Repost @chicagonorml ・・・ The failed #WarOnDrugs leveled entire communities through discriminatory policing and mandatory sentences. Now, as the cannabis market grows rapidly, thousands are behind bars as justice is served at a glacial pace. There are 770,000 individuals eligible for expungement, which means there are 770,000 people with a barrier to secure housing, quality education, gainful employment, etc. ⠀ ⠀ We're putting #EachOneTeachOne into practice. As we move forward, especially in the #CannabisIndustry, we hope to consistently and intentionally reach back. The phrase, “Each One, Teach One,” originated during U.S. slavery when Africans were denied the opportunity to be educated. When one learned to read or write, it became their moral obligation to teach someone else. ⠀ ⠀ The experiences we all gain throughout our lives can always be used to illuminate someone else's. So, we’re paying it forward by raising funds to help individuals jumpstart their expungement process with a RAP sheet, and asking our #ChicagoNORML friends and family to join us.
